Philippa has recently taken The Equestrian Academy on as a client, teaching the SANEF Instructor students and Stud manager students all phases of riding and the major principles of the equestrian sport. Philippa carries out all her teaching with innate professionalism and attention to detail. All of Philippa's students have the benefit of learning the training line practised by Anky Van Grunsven and Arjen Teeuwissen, (Dutch Olympic Champions and Philippa's trainer). There are very few in the world who have this insight for training the horse.

Philippa will be holding various clinics, seminars and demonstrations at the academy for outside riders to take part in. Please email info@elitedressage.co.uk for more information, specifying what you are particularly interested in doing. Please see the list of courses available on the 'Courses' page.
